Hello Ernest,

Thanks for the swift reply.

Like selecting products from a filter in e-commerce, it would be great to capture the unique ID’s from each search filter result. In my case it would be filtering candidates and me receiving an email with the list of Unique ID’s, but there are many others who don’t need commerce type integration.

Thanks for swift the reply, and happy New year! 🙂

Thanks again Ernest.

There are so many options, that it’s possible to break a site that was working when testing a new filter.

It would be useful to save all to a directory, perhaps version-specific.

Anyway, I’ll leave you to it. Have a great day!

David.

Thank you! I was wondering about a new request, as this may answer another person’s question.

Feature request – could we have saved versions so we can revert back if a change gives us problems?

Cheers, and I believe I’m good to go for now.

David.

Hello again,

I’ve reinstalled the plugin after getting in a mess, and solved problems by digging in the documentation.

One thing remains, and I find I need to ask as I’m exhausted. I have languages as a taxonomy. Each actor (Project) can have more than one language and, later, extra sub-skills such as singing, juggling, VoiceOver etc.

When I select “Chinese” or “English” as languages, it refuses to display those with “Chinese” and “English” ticked. So, it seems the filter cannot select multiple fields in one taxonomy, or am I missing something?

I’ve delved into logic, and searched various terms to try and find an answer, but can’t.

Is it possible to filter for more than one item in a taxonomy?

Regards,

David.

Ernest, you are a great service provider, and I’ll for sure rate you highly.

You’ve answered my questions and I am sure I can now dig in and do what I want with my site, using a mix of both.

Custom fields for numbers are fine, and certainly better than taxonomies for age/height etc., and far easier to fix per page if a typo, and of course sliders are perfect on the front end for my purposes.

I love how WordPress has enabled people to create content, and developers like you to offer solutions; and the internet in general for simply getting us connected in ways unheard of a generation ago.

For all the social media ills of the internet, there are far more benefits. Long may it continue.

Kind regards, with thanks,

David.

Hello again,

I liked the plugin you recommended. Taxonomies with hierarchies appear on the edit page and once input can be selected – excellent! I can have a Nationality/languages/ethnicity group and add them as I need them. However…

Unless I’m missing something, Custom taxonomies won’t work as I want. In custom fields I could have sliders and other filter types, but for the life of me I can’t seem to set anything up for taxonomies, and certainly sliders and others weren’t available.

I wiped the custom fields, and tried just one taxonomy filter, but just get the search bar. I followed the video here.

I have to sleep now, but could you answer:

1) Can I have sliders and other controls with taxonomies? One working example and I can carry on.
2) How do I set up a taxonomies filter like I had before? I can’t even get one drop down to show.
3) Will I have to have a mix of custom fields (sliders) and taxonomies? This will add complexity to data entry.

Kind regards,

David.

Hi Ernest,

Thanks for the excellent response and attention to the problem! First class!

Along with researching your plugin to get the most out of it, I’ll dig into taxonomies, as I like the idea of removing multiple entries and improving data integrity.

Kind regards, with thanks,

David.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I don’t know why, but you are correct. Even the autosave password got a refusal.

I’ve updated the password.

I don’t want it to match Male and Female. I want visitors to select Male or Female and only see one or the other. I’m assuming they will only search one role at a time. (We’re not going to be a huge agency, but the numbers will grow.)

I may have to add other gender selections in the future, as I currently only have “other”, which seems at odds with changing cultural requirements.

Regards,

David.
